Description:
In 1742, when the legendary dome atop St. Peter’s Basilica—designed by Michelangelo—cracks and threatens to collapse, Pope Benedict XIV summons three mathematicians whose groundbreaking ideas spark a revolution in the world of architecture.
1742: the famous dome atop Saint Peter’s Basilica, designed by Michelangelo, is fractured and threatened with collapse. The dome is the pride of Italy and the largest of its kind anywhere in the world. And no one knows how to fix it.
This engaging and colorful narrative tells the overlooked story of how Michelangelo’s Dome was saved from disaster by three mathematicians and Pope Benedict XIV, who had asked them for help. It is a gripping story of decisive leadership, crisis management, and scientific innovation, and the resistance that was faced when sailing into the headwinds of conventional thought.
In Saving Michelangelo's Dome, Stanford-trained engineer Wayne Kalayjian illustrates how new ideas in science and mathematics established an entirely new way of looking at the world—as well as solving its complex problems. In the end, readers will appreciate that in saving Michelangelo’s Dome from collapse, these three mathematicians and one determined pope unknowingly invented the profession of engineering as we practice it today. With it, they transformed the architectural world and ushered in generations of future buildings and structures that, otherwise, would never have been built.

Really good read and a great chapter in Spidey's legacy
Format: Paperback
Really good read and a great chapter in Spidey's legacy. i originally read tge Amazing Spiderman issues of this collection (minus the annual) in the Amazing Spiderman Omnibus by David Micheline and Todd McFarlane, so i had an idea of what the story was but i didnt know tge full story. The overall story is great and I found it really enjoyable because its such a cohesive story even thoigh it spans across three different spiderman titles. The artwork is on point too and is well done. What made me like this book was the constant action, with spiderman facing off against villain after villain ( Graviton, Magneto, Goliath, etc) and also the deeper story in which Peter has to deal with his new powers. The story more so delves further into the idea of "with great power comes great responsibility". If you like Spiderman, then this is one book you need to.have in your collection.
